Feta Complis rotary switch question

Hello.
I feel a little dumb asking this, but are there different kinds of rotary switches?
I ordered one for the Feta Complis, a regular 3p4T switch, and it seems to be incorrect. Mirrored, so to speak. The Feta, seen from the component side, is
   C
B   A
the switch is
   C
A   B

That switch would be right for the component side, but not the other side.
So I ordered a different brand. SAME. And then another one. SAME.
What the??
Could someone please point out the right switch from Banzai, Musikding or MEK - or tell where I'm thinking wrongly?!?
Thanks!

I dont think the A B C nomenclature makes any difference, as you are still going to have three poles and four throws.  You should be fine with the one youve got in the picture.

The only known cure in the world for GAS is death.  That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

I never, ever bother trying to align the numbers on those rotaries, I just puts them in the board and solders 'em down. As long as it's on the right side of the board and fits, it will work ^_^V

Sometimes they are like on the zpsdx and sometimes they're not.
